I don’t think armed civil war is a reality any time soon and I don’t think economic boycotts or other acts of non approved civil disobedience will be tolerated by the power class at any level that has a real impact.
Reddit seems to get foamy at the mouth and call people fascist when they say both sides but come on man, both sides. One side is openly shitty with openly shitty people the other side is a little less shitty on social issues, with a couple decent people, but mostly full of greedy opportunistic profiteers.
At this point voting on a federal level is akin to making the decision to treat a gunshot would with a bandaid or dirty rag. Neither will really help, one will cause an active infection but both are going to leave you dead in roughly the same amount of time.
The US experiment is failing due to greed and a political system designed to keep the rich rich and the poor begging for crumbs.
I wish I had a better attitude about all this but even this article is a perfect example. Someone in Washington takes note of a union busting organization and what do they do? Write a strongly worded letter and people cheer.
We are at a point where we need to do something, anything, to make a change. Half measures will avail us nothing and lip service is getting old.
Be the change you want to see in the world but prepare for shit to get worse, and not better. I predict legal weed will be the 2024 distraction. Hey all, our healthcare system continues to crumble.... but you can buy legal weed now.
